To any Yankee fan the perils of paying too much money on aging players are obvious. Alex Rodriguez is the ultimate example of the dead weight that can wind up on a team’s payroll from these large contracts, and Mark Teixeira isn’t far behind. Within the Yankees own clubhouse
(The following is being syndicated from An A-Blog for A-Rod. And yes, I know what I’m suggesting is borderline ludicrous. I’m on vacation and it popped into my head one morning while I was in the shower, so I ran with it.)

By now, you probably know that Josh Hamilton suffered a relapse in his struggle with alcoholism. Hamilton has a history of alcohol and drug abuse. Unlike many off-field problems that we hear about professional baseball players, Hamilton’s issues clearly and transparently affected his on-field performance.

First things first. Andy Pettitte was everything the Yankees could’ve hoped for in their 8-0 Game 3 loss to the Rangers. After the dual miserable outings from CC Sabathia and Phil Hughes, Pettitte delivered seven brilliant innings of two-run ball — the only mistake coming on [...]
The Yankees go into Tampa Bay for a 3 game set with the Rays this week with the AL East lead on the line. With both teams comfortably ahead of the next best wild card contender, the results of this series and the AL East race are only relevant in terms of determining playoff matchups [...]
The first-place Yankees (69-42, 1.5 GA) are in Arlington tonight for the first time all year to play the AL West-leading Texas Rangers (64-47, 8 GA) for a two-game quickie. A lot has changed since the Yankees swept the Rangers at home during the second week of the season: Most [...]
